Re: Cleveland @ Portland

Also I like having Henderson marking their leading scorer Randolph over Marshall. Donyell at least gives us the thought of a threat from the bench.

Snow with the drive. Nice.

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

LeBron is punishing the early strategy of using Steve Blake to guard him (Portland used this strategy with some success against Kobe).

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

Getting into the lane for the first couple of baskets is a good start.

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

Steve Blake is on that list of stop gap players we should have looked at over a long term deal of Damon Jones.

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

We should attack Randolph. He is a weak defender, and also there only post scorer of note, so getting him in foul trouble only assists this campaign.

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

We really need this start on a back to back. Portland lack confidense so this could really be the start of something.

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

PG's we should have taken over Damon..

Steve Blake
Eddie House
Earl Watson
Damon Stoudamire
Keyon Dooling


It's funny...we have no defense at all..slumping on offense..Ron Artest anyone?

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

Well we are getting through our offense nicely, but defensively not so well. A few second chance opportunities have kep Portland with us.

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

Its a sad tale when Eric Snow continues to be our main guard threat!

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

Eric knocking it down. 6 early points to our underated guard!

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

If we can keep making shots, things will be okay. But this game is a total shoot-out right now. Portland will probably be able to keep it up. So will we be able to?

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

Patterson is too much for Donyell. They have more spark from the bench. Not good.

Henderson certainly not replacing Drew rebounding!

Re: Cleveland @ Portland

Good offensive 1st quarter. Still making poor rotations, and getting out hustled on the boards.

LeBron an amazing 18 points. Whoa. He's so good you almost dont notice!

It takes Ira 9 games to score that many!
